David

Press Officer

Marketing Department


Alan, how can a candidate impress an interviewer? Well, David, I feel it's basically all down to good preparation. First of all, find out about the job. You could ring up the Press Officer or the Marketing Department and get the latest press releases, or perhaps an annual report. The annual report, for example, will say where the company operates and the products it sells. Then, when you get there, you perhaps could congratulate the interviewer on a recent success the company's had. In a nutshell, find out about that company. Show that you've taken an interest in the company and show enthusiasm for the job because, after all, that's what they're looking for in the candidate. They want somebody not only who's qualified for the job but will want to do the job, and will be interested and enthusiastic about the job.
